Doctor Who: 10 Clever Moments Of Foreshadowing You Probably Missed

10. Everything Is Dangerous

Poor old Danny Pink didn't have much luck during his time on Doctor Who, with his tragic military backstory, his bumpy relationship with Clara, and ultimately, his death, which came about when he was struck by a car while crossing the road.

It was a shocking moment, because nobody expected him to die so suddenly, let alone in such a "boring" manner, as Clara describes it. And yet, eerily, Danny's death was actually foreshadowed by the Twelfth Doctor a couple of episodes earlier, in a quick line of dialogue from Kill The Moon.

While traversing the surface of the moon midway through the episode, Clara expresses worry at how dangerous their current situation is - mainly out of concern for Courtney, a young school girl who has tagged along on this particular adventure.

In response, the Doctor reminds her that everything in life has the potential to be dangerous, citing scenarios such as eating chips... and crossing the road.

In the moment, the Doctor's response just seems like his typically nonchalant, jokey attitude towards any sort of peril, but in hindsight, it was clearly a deliberate piece of foreshadowing for Danny Pink's untimely end.
